Don't think that DD2.0 is broken anymore (at all) :) The fact is that my 
friends vdr-1.3.20 with CVS-drivers from 20050210, DVB-T FF connected to Sony 
STR-DB925 works with DD2.0 from SVT ( swedish television ). The DD5.1 is 
working with DVD-material in that setup. No television in DD5.1 was reachable 
during testing.

My own setup ( same software ) still only _detects_ DD2.0/DD5.1

Ok! I see what you mean.

Well, not even Life is Live then. It take's a few uS to take the input from 
eyes/ears etc. and process them in the brain. :D
